Abstract
The article under study is an analysis of impact of globalization on immigrants. The study is based on the qualitative research applying the tool of content analysis. The global scenario depicts that globalization is affecting the world in many aspects, like ideology, politics, economy, culture and language. Its impacts are so powerful that cannot be avoided. It is spreading over the earth like the jungle fire. It is its impact that migration from the backward countries to the developed countries is on its full zenith. The immigrants are undergoing so many psychological changes but even then they tend to become tools of spreading the globalization. They sacrifice their ideology, culture to get economic well-being and peaceful lives. The pride of immigrants influence the rest of the people in their native countries and the stream of immigration gets more power.

Abstract
The term "Tuyoor," which translates to "birds" in Arabic, carries significant cultural and symbolic meaning in Urdu literature, transcending its literal interpretation. Within this literary tradition, "Tuyoor" evokes an imaginative atmosphere infused with cultural depth, blending aesthetic elegance with a sophisticated tone. Abdul Rab Ustad's extended poem Tuyoor Nama (The Message or Words of Birds) exemplifies this richness and artistic sensitivity, using birds as a metaphorical voice to address the challenges of the modern era. This poem serves as a commentary on the ethical and social conditions of contemporary society, illustrating the current state of humanity through the lens of avian characters who are depicted as content in their natural roles and grateful to God for not being the most exalted beings. Additionally, the poem references significant historical figures, highlighting its cultural and historical context. Presented within a symbolic framework, Tuyoor Nama raises thought-provoking questions regarding social and moral decay, as well as the nature of human character. This research article, titled "The Reflection of Contemporary Issues in Abdul Rab Ustad's Extended Poem 'Tuyoor Nama': A Thematic Analysis," critically examines the poem's thematic perspectives, literary style, and creative techniques, inviting readers to reflect on the pressing issues of the modern world

Abstract
In Urdu poetry, the postcolonial perspective unfolds as a space that reveals layers of imperial oppression, identity and resistance while also envisioning utopian hopes. It is not just a story of wounds but a search for dreams and renewal. Thinkers like Edward Said, Fanon, and Gayatri gave this discourse global scope which critics such as Nasir Abbas Nayyar, Bloch, Ngugi, Graham Hegun and Jameson further enriched. In Hali, Shibli, and Iqbal’s vision, liberation from colonial rule emerges as a dream while Faiz, Josh, and Makhdoom turn poetry into a metaphor of resistance and justice. After Partition, migration and identity shaped new themes while modern poets like Kishwar Naheed, Zehra Nigah and Ahmad Faraz etc. redefined protest through gender, minority and ecological perspectives. This study therefore, not only introduces a new direction in Urdu literary criticism but also positions Urdu poetry as a vital reference point within global interpretations of postcolonial literature.

Abstract
In Urdu literature, the travelogue is more than a record of places; it mirrors the writer’s thought and social awareness. Pakistani women travel writers highlight not only their journeys but also issues of education, health, work, and social inequality. These writings reveal feminist consciousness and offer deep insight into women’s socio-economic position. Feminism, as an ideology, demands women’s equal role in society, politics, education, and economy. The article which is from my PhD dissertation was aimed to explore how feminist perspectives and economic dimensions emerge in Pakistani women’s travelogues and to what extent the economic role of women is emphasized. Achieving these objectives, these travelogues were studied analytically from a feminist perspective, utilizing content analysis. The objective benchmarks for analyzing these travelogues were derived from various feminist theories. In this regard, Pakistani women’s travelogues were used as primary sources. The findings of this research reveal that women are not confined to a single region or tradition, but are active and indispensable members of the global economy. Pakistani women’s travelogues stand as evidence that the economic role of women worldwide forms an essential link, without which the very concept of social and cultural progress remains incomplete.

Abstract
Urdu has a remarkable literary tradition, dating back to the 15th century. In addition to this, the historiography of Urdu literature also has a distinguished past. Ram Babu Saxena is considered the author of the first comprehensive and complete account of Urdu literature, published in 1927. Since then, many scholars have made significant contributions to this field. In light of this century-old tradition, we find a fascinating variety within the historiography of Urdu literature. Some historians address the entire literary tradition, while others focus on specific genres, regions, or periods in a scholarly manner. This article presents an annotated bibliography of such literary histories, each of which briefly discusses the tradition of Urdu literature in a single volume. It also highlights the tradition of compiling bibliographies, their benefits, and their various forms

Abstract
In the realm of Iqbal studies, the letters of Allama Iqbal hold a distinctive place as they reveal aspects of his personal life, intellectual journey, and practical struggles that are not fully reflected in his poetry and lectures. Dr. Sufian Safi, in his work “Nigaristan-e-Khatoot-e-Iqbal”, has critically analyzed Iqbal’s correspondence and highlighted the philosophical, spiritual, and socio-political dimensions embedded within them. Through these letters, one finds Iqbal’s reflections on Sufism, the significance of his philosophy of Khudi (selfhood), his views on predestination and divine will, his economic challenges and professional engagements, his position on the doctrine of Wahdat al-Wujud, the concept of Ijtihad in Islam, as well as his perspectives on jihad, matter and spirit, and the symbolic role of Satan (Iblis). Moreover, the letters shed light on Iqbal’s journeys within the subcontinent and abroad. This study aims to show how Dr. Sufian Safi, through his scholarly insight, presents Iqbal not merely as a poet but as a multidimensional thinker and a practical human being, thus bringing forth new perspectives in Iqbal scholarship.

Abstract
Culture is an integral part of social development. Rapidly changing values in society lead to social crisis. Crisis refers to the conflict of an individual or nation regarding its traditional values, culture and identity, which is also expressed in literature. The cultural crisis can be felt intensely in Urdu novels in the twentieth century. On the one hand, social values are protected, while on the other hand, the growing Western traditions have challenged these values. Khalida Hussain's novel kaaghzi Ghaat highlights the elements that are causing the crisis of Pakistani culture. This research article will bring to light the details of the crisis of Pakistani culture, which will increase the literary status of this novel.
